If pipe is still there, and no emissions test... who is going to know? MOT man cannot be expert on shape of every cat/de-cat pipe on every bike.

Well if you put a new can on its just a substitution .
If I had a fail on that grounds I'd appeal.

De cat pipes on cars are easy to Sus as instead of a fat box its just a pipe.
But if you smash the inside out who is going to know.
AS some cars can pass without a cat ...

Surely if a Cat is supposed to be there then it falls foul of this?

There is no legal requirement for a catalyst on a UK registered bike, they are only required for homologation purposes. Bikes aren't subject to emissions testing so no-one is ever going to know or care if you swap the cat for a straight through pipe.

Does this cover motorcycles? (with regards to warning lights)

I have an intermittent fault from a modification... Would be become a failure?!

Have you had the questions over the phone.We were asked why we take so long(No apprentices to do the assisting so that's a mare!)
And why we have so few fail,
Visit pending me thinks...
ps
The video for the new stuff is good.Who'd have thought a reverse cam not working right would earn a failer!

I've not watched the video yet but i realy should , I got dug up for the opposite , to many failures , brake pipes and suspension , I asked them to come up here and fix the roads and stop the rain 48 weeks of the year , don't think he was pleased with my answer , like you say , I feel a visit or mistery shopper looming .
